That doesn't sound right at all. Let's a assign a number and a letter for each of the positions: so pro-ssm and anti-ssm would be 1a 1b respectively. Then for each of the positions is 2a,2b,3a,3b,4a,4b,5a,5b.

So if you take the position of "1" changing while the other positions remain static, then you have

1a, 2a, 3a, 4a, 5a, and then
1b, 2a, 3a, 4a, 5a, and that's only ten possibilities right there. Once you cover the other choices changing it's going to be way the hell over 32.

Hold on, I think I just answered my own question. If the 1a and 1b change results in 10 total possibilities, and there are five positions, then that would mean there are exactly 100 possible combinations. Yes?

Time to start a new poll, Medusa, and we want to see every one of those 100 damn choices up there.

Since there are two outcomes of each choice and five choices the formula is 2 to the 5th power:

This was done for a coin toss but works for this poll as well (Consider the H as pro and the T as anti):

It's a cute poll, like it. I had to choose 'other'.
 
I voted for option 1. I am pro-choice, and in favor of minimal restrictions on abortion. I am in favor of equal rights for all gays, including marriage. I dislike the terms 'pro-gun' and 'anti-gun.' I'm sure some on the right would accuse me of being anti-gun, but I don't favor any gun bans, with the exception of automatic weapons. The main restrictions I support are universal background checks and a ban on concealed carry. The more important issue is not the existence of guns, but rather how the guns are used. I don't think that makes me particularly anti-gun, unlike the crowd that wants to ban all guns and thinks hunters are the moral equivalent of felons. My 'anti-Obamacare' vote is probably deceiving as well. I don't favor the ironically named "free market" healthcare system either. My belief is that the ACA is simply a bailout for the healthcare industry and any system that doesn't treat healthcare as a right is unacceptable. I also oppose state sanctioned murder, and therefore oppose the death penalty.
 
Other

I am pro life but with MANY exceptions. Under 18, known birth defects, rape, etc... = allow abortion.

I am against Same Sex Marriage, however I do believe in FULL civil rights and civil unions. Marriage is of the church and should be separated from Government.

I am neither for or pro gun. I believe in the second amendment and think that everyone should be able to own a 1 shot ball and powder weapon just as the 2nd amendment allows for.
Anyone that thinks the 2nd amendment allows for more than this has to also believe in shoulder fired nuclear weapons or they are hypocrites.

I am Pro Obamacare. But I am much more for Pro Universal Health Care. I am only Pro Obamacare because it is the best we have for now.

I am Pro Death Penalty. But ONLY if the burden of proof is held to a higher standard than it is now.
I am all for the killing of mass murderers and etc. But it is NOT OK to sentence innocent people to death. EVER.
 
The only thing I'm really against is the death penalty. I'm prolife, with many exceptions. I'm pro same sex marriage. I'm neither pro nor anti guns. I'm pro ACA. And I'm anti death penalty.
 
I dont care what other people do in general. I thought I was a liberal, but liberals are idealistic, impassioned, and want to control other people, like a real liberal would want you to accept things into your mind, to change your mind even if you couldnt care less either way. They are concerned with being the inside people and who are the outside people. Outside people do not have the right minds for being real liberals.

l cant make everyone happy at the same time :cool:
 
Pro-life
Pro-SSM legally, but not morally
Pro-gun, sorta (allowed restrictions)
Some Obamacare, not all so pro and anti
Pro-death penalty for severe crimes
 
Pro everything except Obamacare, which I have mixed feelings about.

Also, I'm pretty sure that there are 2^5=32 possibilities, since 5! would imply 5 choices for the first option, 4 for second and so forth.
 
5! = 120 choices.

It 2 to the 5th power = 32

Factorial is used when you have a set of n answers and you can't repeat the answer.

When you n answers and you can repeat the answer, you use exponents.

There are two answers (pro and anti) and you can repeat them over the five questions so it's 2^5

Your formula is for when there are 5 questions, five answers, and you can't repeat any of the answers

Okay, that makes sense.
 
dammit. From the thread title I assumed this was about boobs.

Pro. Very pro.

Directly concidering what you posted here the bolded is actually only two choices instead of 10 because you have to have an answer to each of the five question. The two things you posted are just two of the combinations.
 
....Complicated. :mrgreen:
 
Well, I'm...

I don't know how to really describe my position on abortion. The only reason I support abortion being legal, at least to viability is because it is unrealistic to believe it could be regulated fairly, especially during the first trimester without some serious problems with women's rights. I would not support an abortion for most reasons, but I would also not be hostile toward someone who got an abortion that they truly felt they needed. I simply would not approve.

I'm pro-ssm, absolutely.

I'm pro-gun although I do support some very limited gun laws, such as background checks ( and increased penalties for gun crimes that happen because of negligence by gun owners (but I believe in holding people responsible for their actions and/or responsibilities).

I'm anti-Obamacare but NHC system.

I'm pro-death penalty for extreme circumstances and very much support having certain factors that must be met for someone to get the death penalty.
 
Couldn't find new in the poll so I will have to wing it.

Abortion- I am deeply torn
Same sex marriage- absolutely pro
Gun - absolutely pro
Obamacare - against
Death penalty- deeply torn.
 
Pro-choice (human and equal rights)
Pro-SSM (equal and civil rights)
Pro-Gun (Gun rights)
Pro-healthcare BUT id be pro anything that is at least TRYING to fix our broken system. Maybe ill be anti"Obamacare" later if its not working but ill still be pro fix healthcare
Pro-Death Penalty and would even expand it as an option for rape
 
pro-life
pro-SSM
pro-gun
anti-Obamacare
anti-death penalty

As someone already pointed out, there are many choices missing. This should've been 5 separate polls.[/QUOTE]

l thought about it but didnt want to be accused of trolling
 
Well, it's not the guns forum either. Or the abortion forum. Or the healthcare forum.

Why don't you leave Medusa the **** alone? How about that? The poll is limited, got it?
 
I am for death penalty -- I believe prison terms over 15 years are cruel. In USSR after 1953, the maximum prison term was 15 years. But there were a few hundred executions a year.
 
I am ambivalent about state sponsored executions so the first choice was the best for me. I think gays should be allowed to marry, that abortion should be safe, legal and rare, and that honest citizens should be able to keep, bear, possess, own and use properly any modern firearm that is normally capable of being carried and used by an individual. Certainly any firearm that is used by any American civilian law enforcement agency. I oppose Obama care on the grounds as stated by the four justices who found it to be unconstitutional.
